How does the Detective recall game work?
All the detective tiles are shown face up for a few seconds — memorise the layout. They then hide, and the game asks for each one in turn ("Where was the Magnifier?"). Click the right spot to reveal it; wrong clicks count as misses.
What are the difficulty levels?
Quick is 6 tiles with 6 seconds of study time, Standard is 9 tiles with 8 seconds, and Full Deck lays out all 12 tiles with 10 seconds. Your best first-try score is saved for each level.
